Agent-Focused Insurance Broker Expanding to a State Near You
Pacific Crest insurance has experienced significant growth over the last year in what they refer to as a "redefinition of the independent insurance market." The forward looking business ideology places the focus on agent growth and reward.

When asked about the company's growth, Pacific Crest Principal, Shawn Webb explained "we provide insurance agents access to technology and compensation that other insurance broker's don't, so they can focus on what's important - the customer". Mr. Webb explained the theory behind their program coined Independent Agent Advantage is to "eliminate the burden of running a business for agents through the use of technology and provide agents a lion's share of the compensation - because they've earned it." This, he stated, is the single greatest downfall of the direct appointment; agents need to be incentivized and will continue to seek opportunities until they are satisfied with their compensation. In addition to industry leading compensation, Pacific Crest provides agents a share of contingency bonuses, a virtual back office that minimizes or eliminates office expenses, national carrier appointments and 100% vested ownership in their book of business.
With over 300% growth in the last year, Pacific Crest Insurance must be doing something right to attract new independent agents. Pacific Crest agency manager for Idaho, Ben Hamilton states "Pacific Crest made promises, in writing, upfront, and they delivered...I have not seen this with other insurance companies". A steady growth in new independent agents have prompted the Pacific Crest Alliance to expand into neighboring West coast states in 2011 with a goal of opening new territories in 2012. New Pacific Crest programs tailored for transitioning agents and existing agency partnerships will be the catalyst for this growth and will further develop the alliance's national recognition.
Pacific Crest Independent Insurance Alliance is currently licensed and has independent agencies operating in ID, WA, OR, CA, TX, AZ, OK, NV and UT.
